The drummer started to play
But couldn’t stay on beat
He dropped one of his sticks
And then he fell off his seat
Without him keeping time
None could be kept
The song just fell apart
As he quietly slipped

Sweet dreams
To you my little one
Sweet dreams
You’re missing all the fun
Sweet dreams

When he finally awoke
In the county jail
One of his friends was there
With money for his bail
He collected his things
And stumbled towards the door
His hand just missed the knob
And he fell to the floor

Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams
To you my little one
Sweet dreams
You’re missing all the fun
Sweet dreams
